and clear ed the kitchen floor and uncle archie drew his bow across the fiddle strings and men and maids we danced that night as if our feet were wings my word the very thought of that sets this old

last november than for benjamin harrison yet ou the 4th of march mr harrison became presi dent and mr cleveland retired to pri vate life that is an nnomally which may hap pen at any time under our electoral system it has given rise to much dis cussion ami no little agitation for re form the democratic party must make it an issue in the near future they have i majority in the united states yet they did not elect their president in 1s88 and may fail to elect one in 1892 and thereafter though polling a majority of the pop ular vote the anomaly will be made more striking in the next election by reason of the admission of the xew states some interesting results of the working of the present system are shown elsewhere in the herald this morning in nevada for instance one electoral vote represents about twenty thousand population in penn sylvania it represents a hundred and forty-two thousand in other words the vote of one man in nevada is equiv alent to the vote of iÂ«even men in penn sylvania similar disproportions run through out the country the nsult is as shown elsewhere that a group of states with twenty-one million people may elect a president over another group with twenty-seven million is this popular government gov ernment of the people by the people that is a serious question for the dem ocrats who are tho chief suffers under the existing system the problem presented is not how to abolish the electoral college but how to so modify it as to g've effect to the idea of government bv m lioritief â€” x y herald how the peanut cures insomnia washington post we have always entertained a tender { regard for the peanut its comfort ! itl)le homliness its sweet awkward j simplicity its unobtrusive modestv have wou for it a way to our heart and awakened there that delicate sentiment of affection which lingers as a holv fragrance about the soul of the lover ennobling him beckoning him to deeds of greatness we are of course on terms of familiarity with the peanut â€” so intimate indeed that we have not for years addressed it by its proper name tuberum bunimn bulbocasta num but have applied to ifc,*f..r vari ety's sake such familiar and endear ing names as goober grÂ»undpea earth nut and the like this public protestation of our af fection for the peanut is made in order j that the reader may he convinced we i are not actuated in what we are going ! to relate by any disposition either to i injure the tender sensibilities of the | peanut or to rob it of its well-merited | popularity but truth which is mighty land will prevail impels us to this re i cital of the events of a night we that is to say the particular we 1 who j sits in solid phalanx and writes the postscripts column we have been ad dicted to sleeplessness why once when we were in the midst of an epi demic of courting we remember we lost so much sleep that our parents noticed it but that is neither hero nor there what we wish to have understood now is that we do not always go to sleep when we make ready to do so it was therefore with a feeling of deep gratitude to the rev theodÂ«re b lyraan episcopal bishop of north carolina that we read his interesting letter recently published in the raleigh news-observer recommending peanuts nnd milk taken just before going to bed as a sure cure for sleeplessness we have not the honor and pleasure of a personal acquaintance with bishop lynian but from certain tests we have recently made we have learned to re gard him as a man of overwhelming not to say dangerous veracity the peanuts and milk did cure our sleep lessness we had devoured only the hrst quart of peanuts and imbibed only one pitchei of milk when we found ourself not in bed when we had left onrself but standing in the midst of a crowd on the under side of the moon with our head walking around on ai - other man's shoulders this va ; very attractive but not precisely the situa tion we should have nominated ourself to fill if we had been consulted then we had a variety of experiences for instance we walked off the edge of the world and went dropping through space till we broke into pieces as a mud ball dropped from precip d does and each piece became r separate dream and each dream a masÂ»-iueetiug of hor rors this sort of thing went on from worse than anything to worse than that until morning when we uwoke we found ourself all tangled up in something about the color of vir ginia clay on uncoiling it and fol lowing it up to its source we found it to be our breath as soon as we could reach the shears and cut it off we said something about peanuts and milk something that our sense of propriety if nothing else would keep us from saying in the presence of bishop ly nian and now since we have prcv ed to ourself that the worthy bishop reallv found a cure for insomnia we are devoting ourself tirelessly to insomnia as a possible preventive of peanuts and milk we are afraid to go to sleep â€” lest some more peanuts and milk catch us unawares wanamaker'g sunday school prof if u mecu-llan in christian observer i reached the bethany s.ibbath school twenty minutes before the ap pointed time for opening and found the large building so full that stand ing room only could be asssigned to visitors indeed the first impression one receives is that the building is in tended for the workers â€” for the pupils and teachers who fill almost the en tire structure small space is allotted ; to visitors who are welcome if they find room but who are not allowed to interfere with the work of the school at one end of the room is a large platform capable of seating nearly five hundred people on which is the desk of the superintendent and immediate ly behind the cabinet organ choir nnd orchestra the latter consisting of twenty instruments string and cor nets behind this is seated a bible class of nearly four hundred adults in front of the stage the main audi torium contains classes of boys to the number of over a thousand a wing on the right contains an infant class of boys numbering several bud mred a similar wing on the left holds infant class of girls of equal numbers while in the rear of the aud itorium six alcoves stretch back and nccommodate large classes of older pupils two large galleries extmid around the entire room and the^e also are filled with pupils probably three thousand people men women and children are gathered within this building every sabbath afternoon and among them a very large proportion of young men and young women pigskin is now ast for gloves andj childien's shyef { the age of paper the world has seen its iron age its stone age its golden age and its bra eu age this is the age of paper we are making so mauy things of paper that it will soon be true that without paper there is nothing made that is made w e live in paper houses wear paper clothing and sit on paper cush j ions in paper cars rolling on paper wheels we do a paper business over paper counters buying paper goods paving for them with paper money or charging them up iu paper books and deal in paper stocks on paper margins we run races in paper boats for paper prizes we go to paper theaters where paper actors play to paper audiences we elect paper men with paper votes on a paper issue to represent a paper constituency in a paper congress and make paper laws as the age develops i the coming man will become mure deeply enmeshed in the paper net he will awake in tne morning and creep from under the paper clothing on his paper b?d and put on his paper dress ing-gown and paper slippers he will walk over paper carpets down paper stairs and seating himself in a paper chair read the paper news in the morning paper \ paper bell will call him to his breakfast cooked in a paper oven served on paper dishes laid on a paper cloth on a paper table he will wipe hi , lips with a paper nap kin and having put on his paper shoes p.iper hat and paper coat and taken his paper cane he will walk on u paper pavement or ride on a paper carriage to his paper office he will organize paper euterpriy.es and make paper profits he will go to europe on paper steamships and navigate the air in pa per balloons he will smoke paper to bacco in a paper pipe lighted with a paper match he will write with a paper pencil whittle paper sticks with a paper knife go fishing with a paper fishing-rod a paper line and a paper hoop and put his catch in u paper basket he will go shooting with a paper gun loaded with paper cartrid ges and will defend his country in paper forts with p.iper cannon and paper bombs having lived his paper life and achieved a paper fame and paper wealth he will retire to paper leisure and die in paper peace there will bf a paper funeral at whioh the mourners dressed in paper crape will wipe their eyes with paper handker chiefs and a paper preacher will preach a paper sermon in a paper pulpit from a paper text he will lie in a pnper coffiu wrapped in a paper shroud his name will be engraved on a paper plate and a paper hearse adorned with paper plumes will carry him to a pa per-lined grave over which will be raised a paper monument the papers will record his paper virtues while pa per angels with paper wings will clothe him in a paper robe and waft his paper spirit from this paper world to the paper gates of a paper paradise where all is piper and fire-proof at that paper world piety and fioodb incompatible there is no one who holds good men in higher reverence than we do we honor the true men of god who live holy who glorify their heavenly fa ther and illustrate true religion and piety by attending to the divine in junction to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction aud to keep himself unspotted from the icorld o when the star jeers or laughs at such men as wanamaker who are held up as patterns of piety it is because they profane the very name of religion by their conduct as politicians when men professing god-likeness â€” godli ness â€” become political profligates it is high time that all newspapers that reverend religion should denounce the profaners of the pure religion of the immaculate one pharisaism drew from the master the most pointed and caustic and withering denunciations it is simply impossible that a corrupt politician a big meodler should be a sincere and genuine christian he bus stolen the livery of heaven to serve the devil in the xew york world savs of wanamaker he obtains money for corrupt uses which a notoriously bad man could not secure in thus making a cloak of his professed piety a plutocratic pharisee not only brings reproach upon religion but becomes an enemy of the repub lic as such the world will continue to expose and denounce all of his class of whatever party or creed that i right there is noexouse for such profanation and the guilty uien richly deserve to be scourged by an outraged country the bastinado of public scorn should await the men who niiike merchandise of their religion and use it as a cloak for corrupt and demoralizing practice lf,wanama ker harrison shepherd a njd others of the northern republican leaders would have people to confide in their sancti ty thev must abattd&'u flagitious politi cal niethols and live unspotted from the political world the buying of votes the eonnoodling with bad rascally politicians and the accepting of office obtained by open

acting chief clerk of the war department a stone wrapped in brown paper it weighed about a pound and was perhaps \'-'> inches iu length i in width and one third of the stone was tine and piesent ed no evidence of stratification and was smooth over the entire surface a knife blade made no impression on the particles there was no doubt as to its being a genuine stone but it nevertheless possesed the flexiblity ol a piece of india rubber when taken in the hand and shaken in the direct ion of its flat surfaces it would bend back and forth with a dull muffled sound the movement was more of a laxity in the adhesion apparently than an elasticity when held horizontally bv one end the other would drop and remain in that position w ith the two endd supported on rests the free centre could be pressed half an inch below the middle line with one end held firmly on the drskthe other could be bent upward over an inch the movement was not confined to the one direction in the plane of the flat sur facesâ€”bat the entire stone seemed to be constructed on the principle of an unusual joint with a movement in all directions under pressure it came from a mountain iu north carolina and bears the name of flex ible sand stone the entire moun tain is composed of this material and pieces cut at random exhibit the same flexible properties wushin'jton star i Â» Â» up in her grammar a vei v prettv young
